Cannot receive application notifications on Realme X2 Pro - Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I just bought my new Realme X2 Pro from AliExpress a few days ago, and have been facing an annoying issue.
Although I have disabled Smart Power Saver and App Quick Freeze features in the settings, almost all the installed applications do not pop up any notification. I also have enabled notifications for each app, such as Yahoo email, Gmail, Mobile banking apps, Telegram, Imo, WhatAPP, etc., and have allowed them to always run in the background. I know it would drain the phone battery, but I thought doing these kinds of stuff would fix the notification problem. I did whatever the Realme website suggested and also what the community proposed.
This is my first experience with an unknown cellphone brand, and I have to put it to the experience.
I was wondering if anybody can advise me on a solution.
I have to mention that I did factory reset my phone thrice and also updated my phone to the latest OS version, but nothing changed!

I would appreciate your valuable comments on this topic.

i did what you already said step 3) is the only addition, but its working perfectly fine here! make sure everything is updated.. or sadly factory reset.
1) long press the app then click on app info, or go to app info what ever is easy for you.
2) power saver change it to Allow background Running
This should solve the problem. if not the extra one to do is
3) your recent apps click on the three lines menu and lock the app.
i have 12GB ram so it does not affect anything.
this solved my problem
more to this i faced issues with whatsapp popup notification on the top the Bubble thing but after time it works, its mostly the Color OS is Really not working well with the phone.
sorry if you found this useless but i hear you!

Thanks for the reply.
I know that we can pin/lock the recent apps in the background, but after tapping on “close the recent apps icon,” even the pinned apps will be closed!! So, we habitually tap on that icon, and pinning the apps won't help us.

I can not even toggle the screen pinning ????

Chinese phone- l10, whatsapp and other apps not running in background.

Hello,
My dad bought the p9 not so long ago in China, EVA-AL10C00B386, android 7.0, EMUI 5.0, he stopped using it shortly after because if whatsapp was no open in the background, he would not receive any notifications.
My phone died yesterday so I'm trying to use his p9 now, not only whatsapp doesn't receive notifications when offline, I noticed that you can't use whatsapp on your pc either ( since it requires your phone to be connected when used), so I guess whatsapp (also telegram, but I guess it's a general problem) just doesn't run in the background when the app is not active.
I've been searching online for a fix, but I only found irrelevant solutions.
Is there any way to fix it? and if not, will installing a different rom fix the issue? if so, is there any specific rom I should get?
EDIT: I enabled developer options, and in the Running Services, whatsapp and the rest aren't running, so why is the phone blocking these services?
Thanks
try to use protected-apps to receive notification
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/152649/what-is-protected-apps-in-huawei-phones
I can not find the protected-apps options, I looked every where, and under Battery, it doesn't exist, the closest option I found was settings -> battery -> close apps after screen lock.
And I already disabled it for everything.
For me worked to add a widget on my homescreen of the app you want to run in the background. With the widget the phone is forced to run the app in the background. With Whatsapp for example you can add the widget with all of the chats.

That's good to hear that it worked ?. You could also make Whatsapp to a system app. I don't know why but that works also but you need root for this.

No push notifications in standby

Hi together,
I don't get push notification fro Whattsapp Messages and Aquamail mails in standby. After unlocking the Screen, all notifications are coming...
I already tried to deactivate batter optimization...it doesn't help.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards,

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with Microsoft Outlook. I have it set to 'manually manage' in App Launch, but that hasn't fixed things. Any ideas please?

Allow unlimited data access, whitelist from battery saving, and allow to run in background.
Allow the app to ignore battery optimization too

I've tried all the suggestions here and still have trouble. I'd leave my phone for an hour or so, turn the screen on and a whole bunch of notifications come pouring in from WhatsApp, Gmail, Messenger etc.
My settings are:
1. Apps -> Apps -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation -> Not Optimised (for all my email and messaging apps)
2. Battery -> App Launch -> Manage Manually (for all my email and messaging apps)
3. Wireless & Networks -> Data Usage -> Data Saver -> Off
Is there anything else I need to do? This is a serious problem for me and quite frankly, I need to get a new phone if this keeps happening.

Launch app, go to recent apps, swipe down and hold app until lock icon appears, win. This worked for all of my affected apps. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. I've already done that actually. If you don't touch your phone for say an hour, are you sure the notifications are coming in when it's sleeping and not just when you turn your screen back on?

Thanks for your help, I've discovered the issue now. I don't remember if someone mentioned this earlier and I'm not sure how I missed it, but the issue wasn't the apps closing when the phone went to sleep (since I did everything to make sure they didn't close), the problem was that the phone would switch off LTE and/or Wifi when the screen is off. The setting that controls this is in: Settings - Battery - More Battery Settings - Stay connected when device sleeps. Make sure this is turned on (it was turned off for me before).
I feel almost certain this was turned on in the past and feel it was only turned off in one of the firmware updates. I most certainly would never have turned that off. I can't believe they would use that as a default option since I can imagine only the most battery conscious users would want that off. They should at least have an option where the phone would automatically turn data back on periodically to check for notifications. I know there are third-party apps that do this but if they're going to include an option like that built-in, they should do it properly.
Anyway, problem solved, hope this helped someone else out there.
I have the same issue, but Stay Connected is on, and has been for as long as I've had the problem (2-3 days). No new apps, no new updates, affects all my apps. Driving me nuts. Anything else than doing a full wipe left to try?
same here, till yesterday everything was working fine, i didn't install a new app, configuration of battery settings, data background running is the same, also app locked in recent to run backround as before. update i did before 3 weeks. very strange
I'm very sure this problem occur since the newer software update, my device have same issue.
You can check how to remove PowerGenie (the huawei stock battery management), removing PowerGenie 'might' help you fix it.
I called Huawei and asked, and got a fix! It's not a huge lump of fun, but this is it:
Settings - System - Reset - Reset all settings
Note: all your stuff is still there after reset. Only thing that happens is that it forgets your wlans, your fingerprints, face recognition, lock screen pass/pattern, and all kinds of logins and permissions on your apps. And your apps will jump out of folders and make a hell of a mess. But it worked splendidly for me, notifications are popping up as they should, when they should. Gave me a nice chance to re-arrange my apps even.
Happy thoughts to Huawei (Norway) for having customer service available on the phone, on a regular number, and answering within a few seconds.

I just did it today and it was a complete lost of time. In addition of losing all settings (bluetooth, Wifi, applications and folder on launcher,...) it was not helping with notifications: no Outlook, no WhatApps, no banking app... In other word, nothing, it was worse than before.
I will continue to test settings like controlling launching applications and exclude applications from battery optimization.

It has worked wonders for me at least, notifications are doing their normal thing, including sending them to my FitBit. But I guess there are all kinds of settings that can mess up your notification system =/

Is it just push notifications you're not getting or are messages not coming through at all until device unlocked/app opened? I've been trying all sorts, searched "data" in settings and stumbled upon "unrestricted data access" all apps are disabled on this. Hoping next few hours will show that's me sorted finally.
Once my screens been off 15 minutes, friends WhatsApp msgs only show 1 grey tick their end until I open WhatsApp again

Cannot receive application notifications

It's very strange,
I buy from Amazon the european blue 12GB 256GB and I only setup my programs and I don't have any issue in notifications at all.
I use Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, 4 e-mails accounts and everything work good has expected. I have this phone 5 days ago and I don't have this notification issue.
And is a very boring issue.
As far as I know: Chinese ROM have problems with notifications ...EU ones is good

So go in the apps that you aren't getting messages from in the app list in the settings menu and in one of the options you can select wifi or wifi and data . I had a bunch of apps that were set to wifi by default so I had to adjust that (I just went through and activated the wifi&data option for all the apps regardless) and also if you like use adb to remove Athena package that fixed all notification issues for me.

Thanks for the comment. WiFi and Data are enabled by default for every application, and changing them did not solve the notification issue.
Remove coloros.athena.com service through adb. It will solve the problem. U can also remove other Chinese apps too.

Thanks, I just did it, but it didn't solve the issue. If I close the recent apps, no notification will be shown. I need to keep the apps running in the background and do not tap on close the application icon, which is not acceptable. We close the recent applications habitually.
Any solutions?
In my case it eventually worked for Gmail but Hangout still needed it to be in the background for instant notifications. I have already submitted a ticket to their Chinese bug forum.

Yeah, Gmail mostly shows the notifications, but Yahoo Mail, WhatsApp, IMO, and even mobile banking apps do not show any notification. I miss so many calls and chats because of that. I have enabled run in the background and have disabled the power saving, but most of the apps do not follow the rules. ColorOS kills them completely. I reckon Realme Chinese versions have these issues.

Yea hopefully they will fix some of it with the next update. But on the other hand you don't have to miss those calls and chats. We can still lock the apps in the background for instant notifications in the meantime.

Hi,
Even if we lock an app in the background, if we swipe up, that app would be closed! We usually do it. Realme and ColorOS should release an update for Chinese version of Realme X2 Pro model to get it fixed.
Same issue
I'm experiencing this issue.. I have a Chinese master gray model.. Such a disappointment when I started using this phone. Had such high expectations.
I never get email notifications WhatsApp works sometimes Facebook sometimes messenger sometimes who knows whatever else works and doesn't work. I went through 250+ apps turning everything on in notifications. My battery is set to high performance all the time.
This has to be the worst phone I've ever owned. Whether it's because it's a Chinese rom or Color OS who knows. Would love someone to find a solution
If i find a solution I'll update you

Please participate in the pool. Your vote is highly appreciated.
I'm on the EU version and GMail will only notify me of emails from my main Gmail account, I don't receive notifications on 3 other email accounts that I have linked to the into the Gmail app. even though its set up to do so.

MIUI.EU have some suspicious activities on my k20 pro

I have recently installed miui.eu on my phone and for some reason i opened my privacy manager and saw this, i was astonished by this,
My device was automatically screen recording and i see no recordings in the recording app.
The timings of app opening are exact same as opening my banking and social media apps (maybe!!, Most of them are so a innocent guess).
I guess i need to go towards some stock android roms. If i am wrong don't bash in comments please explain i will understand. Thank you
EDIT:
1. Yes i disabled the screen recorder many times after this but still saw same results then i took the screenshot
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
EDIT 2:
1. The service/app was started only when i used the phone and never when it was on sleep. (Maybe deepsleep/automatic app killing)
2. I disabled the app and it was still in use. (makes absolutely no sense)
3. I respect all the hardwork from the developers, staying up day and night for making these possible (miui 12 eu), I maybe wrong but will wait until some clarification.
4. Sorry devs and Thank you for your hardwork.
And all other apps that needed the autostart permission was denied by privacy manager but this app is allowed every single time.
You're scaring me[emoji102]

Okayyyyy I just had a look too, same as you eu.miui and the list is even longer. This is kind of...strange.
Just to add force stopping doesn't work even with autostart off. It seems to show 'started by system ui' every time I open discord or telegram which is very worrying. I think in the meantime until we get some answers to this I'll go a stock android custom rom too.

Go settings, apps then screen recorder or hold down the icon and tap app info.
You're looking for app behaviour it should be the 4th option down.
Also happening in MortalOS, maybe a miui12 thing
It does open randomly, doesn't open specifically for banking apps for me. I think it's got to do with its quicksetting or something but I don't think it's recording anything
It launches because you've Screen recorder tile on QS tiles, that's why it's on App behaviour. It's not a bug and issue, System UI have to check tile state and must interact with app directly for that. It's not an issue at all.
You can remove Screen recorder tile and should be fine.

What about the other apps that autostart by themself where I already set them to not autostart.
In my case I'm just opened the telegram but some of my apps autostart by themself even I already set them off. Even the mail apps that I never open
Is that normal?
The screen recorder already disabled by now
Thanks in advance

Disable what you don't use, also I think system apps are able to bypass permissions. The rest of the apps that you showed appear to have had their permission denied though
I got the same story on mix2s. I have rolled back to miui10
EDIT /Update :
1. Yes i had disabled the screen recorder many times after i saw this for the first time but still saw same results then i took the screenshot.
2. No, I had no tiles in my control centre as screen recorder, I had removed all the unnecessary quick tiles.
3. I switched to evox for now and maybe wait for a global stable miui 12.
Smae issue with masik, it even shows 3mb data used. Can anyone dig into these roms and see if spyware is installed
The issue might be related to Gausian blur / which is triggering gausian blur .. when you are accessing the control centre
to check : do one thing.. change your notification style to old one and see ..
i once tried IOS control centre, to show blur it used to ask some strange permission, and cast symbol used to activate when ever that blur comes active ..
so i think.. : bringing down control center, might trigger gausian blur, which is related to screen recorder ( somehow) .

Permission denied after I saw strange behaviors.. What will happen if they were autostarted and has the permission. It's a disaster.
I hope it's just a bug
See this Dropbox behavior
Launch by a file.. And I don't even touch the Dropbox apps before
How it could be?
Thanks

You probably opened a file, either way I think it's just paranoia and normal behaviour that would happen on any android version, only difference is that it is logged
Edit: I'm exploring this feature a little bit more, apparently it logs when apps try to autostart and notifies even if they are denied. Looking at your screen you denied autostart permissions for Dropbox for example. Your concern if I understood correctly is that "files" app launched Dropbox, that is because the privacy feature also logs what process launches the app, so for example if you interact with a newly downloaded file and Dropbox is somehow required to view it or sync or whatever the files app is gonna request the Dropbox app to launch. This also explains why disabling autostart for screen recorder doesn't work, that is because it won't start on its own but other apps (system UI) still can, if you are super concerned about privacy regarding the screen recorder you can use ice box to freeze it or uninstall via ADB. However it's probably because it's integrated with the system UI service to some extent and it periodically starts it if it goes out of ram, the privacy log feature records everytime it is launched in memory.

Is there any way to lock apps in memory on miui 12.0.9?

Hi, I'm on stock 12.0.9.0 (QJOEUXM - global EU channel)
This update redacted the facility to lock apps in memory and select Split Screen from the Recents menu (apparently it was unstable for some users - it's to come back in a later update)
So, as it stands when you long press an app in the Recents menu, instead of being offered Split Screen, Lock, Info, it just takes you directly to App Info
Until it's fixed, does anyone know of another way to lock apps in memory?
It's getting very annoying having miui kill processes all the time
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Did you try to change settings?

Very definitely, yes! I'd been scouring the settings menus to find this feature again but couldn't find anything relevant
This morning the miui Security app opened up and offered me the chance to Lock Apps in memory, meaning I could select the relevant apps which are now shutting down less often
Unfortunately I can't find any way to find this menu again! Miui settings menus are a maze!
And the answer is:
Security app » Settings cog » Boost speed » Lock apps

Hi. so this means apps that are locked don't get killed all the time? There is a lock function in the settings but that just prevents apps from staring without a finger print or pin I believe.
I found an option in CustoMIUizer to stop MIUI force closing selected apps. (but that needs root.) and it seems to help so far the app (RL Bubble) stopped only 1 time today instead of every hour or so but that is still 1 time too many.
So I added it in the security app too. Who would think to look there in stead of the settings. Great find! Thanks.
I think that they make the phones more and more complicated by hiding/relocating/renaming the settings every android version.
Hi, a quick question. I do lock apps in the background, but i notice sometimes the padlock is lets say highlighted and sometimes just dim.
Anybody knows what that is?
Thank you.

Jesus, finally. Thank you man
I have an issue related to this in stock miui with netguard vpn - basically its still killed once in while even though:
Its already locked as described above including autostart;
its already set in stock android system settings for battery use as "not optimized"
its also set with the miui app settings battery saver as (no restrictions)
it's set under network settings as (always on);
So what else can I do non-root to prevent this happening?

Super annoying stuff. especially when you want to multitask, the last resort if not buying a different brand phone is to install a custom ROM, and get rid of MIUI altogether. Imo, even tho battery is not as good is a good sacrifice for sanity.
